“ I catered for an event on May 17th. Ordered beef and chicken fajitas from el Potro for a family lunch. Reyna was incredible communicating, coordinating and delivering our food on time. Very good service and the rice, beans, salad with pico and salsas y fajitas were Delicious!!!everyone commented on the flavors and I am very happy with their service. They went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Reyna and your husband at El Potro on 3rd at Jacksonville Beach. ”
“ Jorge M. was an awesome server! He was funny (helped keep the kids and table entertained!!!) and super at making us feel at home and welcome on our vacation! I would recommend El Porto to anyone!! Loved the atmosphere!! ”
“ Chips were crispy. Salsa perfectly hot. Tilapia fish tacos not RUBIOS (ifkyk) but good. "Guadalajara" special tender shrimp and skirt steak good. BIG portions. Better choice than Cantina Luis even with the slightly tacky ( actually wonderfully quirky) decor. ”
“ This might be best Mexican restaurant in Jax Beach and surrounding area. I have lived here over 25 years. I go to many in the area but keep coming back here. Service is excellent. Food is very reasonable and portions are large. Great specials and top shelf margaritas. ”
“ Great place to eat when you come right off the beach! Fast and friendly service with excellent food and decent prices. ”
“ We got take out tonight from El Potros, it was delicious. We both got a #10 on the combo platter. I would definitely order this again. Full of flavor and plenty of food. We will be back. ”
“ We were greeted and served immediately. I loved our waiter. He was hilarious. Great salsa and chips. My son had the triple fajitas, my husband had the chicken taco salad and I had the lunch special #9. We all loved our food. And we only had leftovers of the fajitas because we ate all our other food. Great find on our vacation and just around the corner from our hotel. ”
“ I rather enjoyed it. They make legit steet tacos and, without having to be asked, they come with lime. You'd think a detail such as that would be obvious but all too many other places have "steet style" that comes nowhere close to here. Also, the salsa is great. This place is the real deal for Mexican food, thats why I rate it high. ”
